Famous for its huge spiders and many strange creatures that look like they’re straight out of a science fiction movie, Australia recently made a discovery that has renewed its reputation. Australian scientists in Shark Bay, Western Australia the world’s largest discovered the plant.

This seagrass, which is only a few meters under the sea, shocked scientists as a result of the studies. The goal of scientists researching a seagrass community is actually this community. how much genetic diversity it has had to find. But what they found led them astray.

The entire seagrass community is actually a single plant

Scientists found that the seagrass community in the photo above has only one genetics, which is a single plant. The community consisted of a single plant called ‘Posidonia australis’. First time It took root about 4,500 years ago. The prophesied plant also had an unimaginable length: Exactly 178.6 kilometers.

The discovered plant also sparked curiosity about how a plant survived for so long. Scientists have been studying this plant for thousands of years. how it evolved despite all the changing circumstances He announced that they would investigate his survival. The data to be obtained will also be of great importance for the future of seagrass, which is one of the creatures most affected by climate change.
